Perhaps this was a plan by the Royal Mint to get us out of a recession... very clever

I've had a look at my 20p's and they are still only worth 20p - shame!

I want a £100 each for mine ... I have a 1,000 for sale.


If you need any more, let me know in good time so I can print more.

Why not print the 7 legged spider on 20p coins, then they'd be worth $233.95 (might not make sense unless you read this!)

Now that, is right up my street ... I wonder if I can nick that drawing for my bills.

That story reminds me of the chap who couldn't pay his tax bill so he sent the Revenue a photo of a cheque made out with the amount owing. Suprisingly, someone at the Revenue had a sense of humour and sent back a reply which was simply a photo of a pair of handcuffs.

I`ve just found a £50 note with no date on it and when i phoned the bank they offered me 20p for it...snapped their hands off

I want to rich, very rich!

20p worth £50 is this a get rich scheme or can anyone join!
